Rome
Snowmine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shouldn't obey, obey, obey.
These are the days when words come easily
To have something to say, to say, to say.
My legs took me where my mind refused to go
I just thought that you should know
Describing in plain terms
Whats ahead, whats ahead, whats ahead.
Whats ahead, whats ahead, whats ahead.
Denying any institution
Shaking hands concealing thorns.
Ignore the easy retribution
Instead of reaching back with horns.
My legs took me where my mind refused to go
I just thought that you should know,
Instead of grabbing for the things I've left below,
I wished my time away so slow.
I'm seeing clearer than ever before
Describing in plain terms
Whats ahead, whats ahead, whats ahead.
Whats ahead, whats ahead, whats ahead
The song "Rome" by Snowmine talks about making something necessary to have a will towards it. The lyrics "We have a will to make necessity" indicate the importance of taking initiative towards what we want. The song encourages people to speak up and not obey blindly, which is pointed out in the lines "Shouldn't obey, obey, obey. These are the days when words come easily to have something to say, to say, to say." The singer describes feeling more in control of their life and being able to predict what's going to happen next as they say "I'm seeing clearer than ever before, describing in plain terms what's ahead, what's ahead, what's ahead."
The lyrics also touch on hard work and determination, as they reject institutions and instead choose to fight for what they believe in, stating "Denying any institution, shaking hands concealing thorns. Ignore the easy retribution, instead of reaching back with horns." The singer reveals having to face their own fears and push themselves to be their best as they admit "My legs took me where my mind refused to go. I just thought that you should know, instead of grabbing for the things I've left below, I wished my time away so slow."
Overall, the song "Rome" explores themes of self-determination, pushing oneself out of their comfort zone, and standing up for what one believes in. It serves as a reminder to take control of our lives and not merely go through the motions.

2 years later, still wondering why this isn't more popular
@felipelt8940
because unfortunately people want this commercial pop sold by record companies and radio stations ... at least here in Brasil. :/

Verdade! It's true!

I'll tell you how i see things. Music has a "shape" and everyone has a certain "slot". Popular music is appealing to the masses because it doesn't have a certain "shape" it just fits through most "slots". But when you find something that perfectly fits your "slot" you will be in awe. That's how I feel towards my relationship with Snowmine. A shape that fits my slot completely.
@Piegoose
Kinclaith Rilegale Well said! Still a shame more people haven't gotten into them though
@zachmckeever5925
spot on

Seriously one of the best songs ever. Get a drink, go and sit in your hot tub on a starry night, and imagine yourself looking at earth while you're standing on the moon. Then imagine yourself coming back to your life on earth after seeing something you can never speak of... that's the feeling this song gives me....

Year 7 never too old for this song

I love listening to this song while I’m flying. The lyrics seem to pair well with the detail-oriented and confident attitude of an aviator; “seeing clearer than ever before, describing in plain terms what’s ahead”. They also paired well with the surreal awe I’d felt finally being able to fly after dreaming of it for twenty years. So I would listen to this song pretty regularly while I was flying. Then, one day, I had a YouTube playlist in the background as I study for my Advanced Ground Instructor rating. I look up as “Rome” is playing- there are birds flying. Huh. Neat for a song I associate with flying. I look up again a few moments later to see an aircraft carrier. “WOAH! Somebody made a fan video to aviation footage!” I step closer to take it all in... “Snowmine Official”.
